Im no pro. But I would say the first thing you should do is go to the development section and read the vibrant bible. You don't want to be on here in a day or two saying omg I bricked my phone what do I do. Just read through the sections and it has the answers.

This is my favorite noob guide so far. Link
Make sure you follow the steps on backing up everything. You can never be too careful. These phones are really hard to brick, but you can easily loose a lot of data if you haven't backed up the phone.
Just go to the bible in the stickys, it has all the info, read everything twice if u have to

Like everyone says, the "SEARCH" feature is your friend. Start with looking up Odin and read up on it. From reading your comments, I'm sure it won't be the last time you will need it

Do a search for Odin or go into the Vibrant Bible and look in the first group of links. It's in there. Just follow the instructions. If you took the chance of flashing a ROM, you need to be able to do the research in order to fix problems that can arise. All the info you need is right at your fingertips, use it and happy flashing.
These type of posts just blow me away. 3 people were nice enough to provide information as to how fix your phone. Yet you ignore the offer for help. Tell you what. Send me your phone and I will fix it for you. In return, I will just keep it so you don't have the chance to brick it again and have to beg for help when the answers have been posted in the hundreds of other.....URGENT...HELP ME NOW I THINK I BRICKED MY PHONE threads and have also been posted in countless other places on the forum. Please, read the forums before you flash. I am all about helping, but when you blatantly ignore help that is offered, I feel little to no sympathy at all.
Oh man. LOL
I remember the first time I flashed a ROM. I read everything I could about it for 3 days first.
If people skip that important step, they kinda get what they deserve.
Lazy people suck!!!
Hint. The very first thread in this very forum has everything you need! READ READ READ READ

Here you go... just follow the instructions and don't ask anymore silly and easy questions on here without reseaching first... all of these guys in here know instantly when you haven't done your research... People like me that are nice will spoon feed you but don't always expect it. Kinda of an unwritten rule in many forums is put in the work first and make an effort, THEN, if you are still having an issue, someone can step in and help. If you can imagine this, think about all the noobs out there in the world that are asking the same thing over and over again when the answer is literally in the next post.... gets kinda irratating. Thanks

hi all i just got my galaxy s2 today and have no idea where to start with putting a rom on ot anything. so any help would be great thanks
First you need to be rooted(your phone not you)and then go to the Development section and you will find a list of different ROMs.Its a matter of finding what you want in a ROM and downloading and trying each one.Usually the ROM page has the download and install instructions writen on it.You need to be rooted to have CWM.Ill leave a link to my ROM so you can see what I mean.Below the different ROM versions you will see install instructions.If your not sure what root is let me know
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290468
Spend some time using your phone to get used to It before flashing. This will give you a better idea of what you like and don't like about it.
Armed with that info you can read up on each custom Rom to see if they offer what you want.
Read read and when you think you are ready to flash read some more.

X2 read alot, play with the phone, figure things out. There is so much to learn so you don't turn your phone into a brick. Rooting means you become a superuser, you take ownership so you can customize your phone.

Please don't even think about flashing a custom rom or rooting your phone until you're comfortable/confident enough to do it without making posts like this.
I have seen so many people in your situation on here stuff their phone up over the last few weeks because they were in too much of a hurry to mess with their phone.
AceOfClubs (and others) has given you good advice, heed it :-|
Read the CFRoot thread until you are so confident with rooting the phone that you could do it in your sleep, and then root your phone with the CFRoot kernel that corresponds to your current stock kernel. Not before.
From there, read the various development threads about different roms/kernels, get to know the various features/advantages of each (and ask questions if necessary...about the rom/kernel itself, not the process of flashing same) and then when you've settled on a rom or kernel and you're completely confident about the flashing process, flash it.
Doing this will mean you'll get it right the first time. This will result in:-
A) You not posting yet another "OMG mah fone is teh brikked helpz !" thread.
B) You not having to do without using your phone for x days (weeks) should you mess it up.
Clear ? Good

Root is changing the kernel in your phone to give you super user access which is needed to flash ROMs and firmwares.Also along with flashing there are other things to read up on like an EFS/IMEI file backups which are vital,also nandroid and Titanium backups.As you can see there are alot of good people here willing to help with good advice and all are correct in saying that you shouldnt rush into things.Take your time,read up and dont be afraid to ask questions.Play with your phone and when you know it well enough and have seen enough threads on what and what not to do then you can take the first step and root.First read up on rooting then EFS/IMEI backups and why they are needed.The rest will come in time.Id rather see you here asking questions and not in another thread saying "Help I just bricked my phone!!"

Please reply quickly as i really want to install this rom QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE ASAP
Find the CM10 thread in Development, download the rom & put it on your internal/external SD card (or use the Odin version if there is one if you prefer). Either way, follow the install instructions on the first page of the thread to the letter. Done.
No need for anyone to give you numpty instructions here when they're already in that thread.

Seriously, no offence but the info you're looking for is pretty easy to find. Just use the search button and read the threads/stickies. If you don't know what you're doing, reconsidder if you're really are going to flash a custom rom.

These people should read, read and read more, for at least 3 days before even attempting to flash a rom. Would prevent a lot of Bricked phone topics :/

Please dont be mad, im a noob. Link the easiest way to install custom rom on this device. I bought this phone in Norway so i guess its the international version. Are there supernexus 4.2.2 for this phone? Can I get EVERYTHING back to stock if something failes and I have to send it in to repair? What happened with my s2 was that powerbutton failed so I could not flash any other kernel or rom. I suck at rooting etc on android, because I think when I was jailbreaking my iphone back in the 3gs days, you could always get it to factory settings with plugging it to pc and do restore. Can I do this to this phone with a toolbox or something? Please post here I have to go now, will check this thread later.
Understanding everything and browsing this site is very hard to me, please understand. I have apex launcher so it looks like stock jellybean but its not so smooth as I want it to, so I think i have to install a custom rom. It must be stable and easy!
I'd love to help but you need to learn the forum rules before you start posting topics. Why don't you check out a few of the sticky threads first and you'll probably learn some new things about when and where to post these questions and heck you might even get many of your questions answered haha.
right first thing to do is read up on these forums on rooting then once you have completed that read again The golden rule to remember is NEVER wipe your DATA from recovery! other than that you should be safe :victory:
use this recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995002 which as support for sideloading should you get into trouble.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand why you guys that are here and have full control can't link me a thread or something where this is discussed, and then I can post questions there. This place is so advanced so it's hard for us noobs to come in to the scene. I'm good to follow step by step guides and thats it Before I have followed guides on youtube because noone here could give me an answer, but I want to learn a little on how to probably do this because I'm scared to **** up my phone so I cant get it to stock again. I dont care if a rom fails or something, but i always want to come back to stock if you know!
There are guides in the development section of this forum. I suggest you look there as this is a self help forum.

Thanks, will check into it What roms are you all using?
edit: oh and please someone answer me this. If im gonna root-kernel-rom, what is the best way to backup so I can get back to the OS and kernel I have? I dont care about photos apps and sms, just want to go back to software if it fails.
is firmware the same as kernel?
Something is missing in your formula root-(Flash Recovery)-kernel-rom. And in the new Recovery you can do a backup and only there. You can go either for TWRP or CWM recovery.
And if future, if you say "Thanks", better hit a Thanks button under post than write it your reply
Good tutorial about flashing from A to Z
